TAR files and DSFinV-K export using the Journal

[Solrosy]

Could you guys please specify exactly how this works e.g.

What is the recommended way of handling a manual download?
Can I specify a time frame?
How often should I do this?
I need more information to make decision whether this works or not. Thanks'!

Hi @Solrosy,

What is the recommended way of handling a manual download?

Not 100% sure what you mean, but you basically can call the /Journal endpoint anytime. I'd suggest to use a higher delay than for normal sign requests, as generating the export may take some time (depending on the timeframe and the number of receipts), otherwise, there's nothing special to take care of IMO.

Can I specify a time frame?

Yes, by using .NET Ticks for the from and to parameters. Please keep in mind that the DSFinV-K and the "Middleware TAR" export (not the one directly from the TSE) are based on daily-closings. This means that you should pick a timeframe that includes a whole period between two daily-closing receipts to get the full export for the respective day.

How often should I do this?

This highly depends on your scenario, I think. If you use a carefree package/the PosArchive, exporting regularly is probably not required as your customers can download the data from the Portal in case of an audit. If you need to backup the data yourself, you could e.g. do it daily and copy the results to a backup share - but as said, this depends on your backup strategy.

I hope this helps, have a nice weekend! 🙂
